The financial data reflects notable changes in the company’s capital structure and financial position over the analyzed years. Several key trends and observations emerge from the data.

Total Debt
The total debt figures show fluctuations throughout the period. Initial data points in the early years (2005 and before 2008) indicate relatively moderate debt levels, with values around 300 million USD in 2005 and a significant reduction by 2008 down to approximately 122 million USD. From 2008 through 2015, the debt level gradually increased, peaking around 410 million USD in 2019. A marked decrease is observed after 2019, with debt levels dropping sharply to approximately 108 million USD in 2021 and further declining to about 50 million USD by 2022. This indicates a substantial deleveraging trend in recent years.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity has generally trended upwards over the years, despite some volatility. Starting from roughly 1.24 billion USD in 2005, equity experienced a decline by 2008 down to about 706 million USD, followed by steady growth until 2014, peaking near 2.08 billion USD. After a dip in 2018 and 2019, equity significantly increased in 2020 and continued an upward trajectory through 2021, reaching around 2.56 billion USD in 2021. A slight decrease is evident in 2022, though equity remains above 2.5 billion USD by 2023. Overall, equity growth has been strong, demonstrating capital accumulation and shareholder value enhancement especially after 2010.
Debt to Equity Ratio
The debt to equity ratio has followed a generally declining pattern, reflecting reduced reliance on debt financing relative to shareholders' equity. Early values show a ratio of 0.25 in 2005, decreasing to approximately 0.17 in 2008 and dropping further to around 0.09 by 2013. The ratio rose again to 0.27 in 2019 coinciding with a rise in total debt, before sharply falling to around 0.02 by 2022. This decline indicates improved financial leverage and a more conservative capital structure, especially in recent years, likely reducing financial risk.

In summary, the company has demonstrated a trend towards strengthening its equity base while reducing overall debt levels, particularly after 2019. This strategic deleveraging combined with substantial equity growth suggests enhanced financial stability and potentially greater resilience against economic fluctuations. The reduction in the debt to equity ratio further confirms a shift towards lower leverage. However, some periods in the middle years show increased indebtedness and moderate declines in equity, indicating phases of capital restructuring or increased financial obligations. Overall, the long-term movement points to improved financial health and a more robust equity-driven capital structure in recent years.
